Plants produce an enormous abundance of natural products. Many natural plant products are ancestry-specific and occur only in ...

New research from Max Planck Institute reveals how plants defend their genomes from invasion by chloroplast DNA.

AstraZeneca plans to begin manufacturing cell therapeutics for cancer research in early 2026, though it still needs to install the finishing touches, including the cryogenic freezers that will ...

Once inside the leaf (Fig. 1), microplastics move through spaces between plant cells and can also accumulate inside tiny hair-like structures, called trichomes, on the surface of leaves.

In a groundbreaking study, researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick have captured continuous, 24-hour images of cellulose synthesis, the process by which plant cell walls are built, using ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin.

The image sequences provide new insights into how this cell structure forms, which could lead to innovations in plant-derived products such as renewable biofuels. Cell walls are made mostly of ...

Scientists witness living plant cells generate cellulose and form cell walls Date: March 21, 2025 Source: Rutgers University Summary: In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a ...

In a discovery with potential practical applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers and plant biologists capture first live images In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of ...

This was a mighty challenge. The cells kept dying. Paleontologist Kyoko Hagino of Kochi University tried for twelve years until she finally cracked it with a cousin of the original organism.

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.

Plant cell-based bioproduction systems are known for producing proteins with proper folding and post-translational modifications that have been used in a handful of approved therapeutics.
